Do you think HP is just a bunch of jokers who don't understand the high end? --- Hey, *I do! <g> Otherwise, they'd have licensed Solaris, right? :) --- Backing off of UNIX was bad thing for HP. It left an impression that HP doesn't understand the high end. They've got a lot of ground to make up. -JCJ

Rudedog, Thats a good start but how do explain SUNW's recent 25%+ growth (12 billion dollar base) and CPQ, HWP and might as well throw MSFT anemic numbers. I respect your opinions and experience but is the market wrong or are you. Momemtum is on MSFT's competitors side now, IMO. Can a new and unproven Datacenter and future .net product change the tide. I do not think so but that is only a guess because nobody knows the future. I am not in the IT industry but I do sell technology (not IT) to the fortune 1000 level and they are throwing out the old and installing the new. Thats what I see with my eyes. I cannot argue on the technical merits of any particular system but I am familiar with the latest hardware and software implementations. And excuse me, SUNW and ORCL have the mindshare at this point because they are vertically integrated and have a total solution. What is MSFT going to do when the ORCL e-business suite is able communicate with a wireless interface. Respectfully, yours. P.S.: And please do not threaten me. One thing about SI is that you really never know who you are dealing with.
